A motorist lost control on Goodsprings Road, also known as State Route 161, and died in a single-vehicle crash on March 15.

The fatal crash was reported Thursday by the Nevada Highway Patrol.

A 2015 Toyota Highlander was traveling east on Goodsprings Road about five miles from Interstate 15 around 3:45 p.m. when it departed the travel lane and struck a ditch, the news release says.

The driver was ejected and died at the scene. The Clark County coroner’s office Friday identified the driver as 42-year-old Goodsprings resident Jarrett Crooks.

The death was the 12th traffic-related fatality for the Southern Command of the Nevada Highway Patrol in 2024.
